What is BlisxBench?
BlisxBench is a data-capture app: it turns what is on an instrument screen into confirmed numbers in your spreadsheet, and keeps the photograph each number came from. Copying by hand is slow, and its errors are silent — a transposed digit looks exactly like a correct one.
One photo, several values
A single shot of a results screen fills several fields at once, not one at a time. The readings you would have typed one by one are captured in a single shot.
You confirm every number
Nothing is written until you approve it, shown side by side with the photograph or transcript it came from. Unreadable fields are left blank and marked — never filled with a guess. This is the part worth being precise about: the software does not decide what your data says. It proposes, and a person confirms.
Hands-free when you need it
Dictate readings when your hands are gloved and your eyes are on the instrument. The transcript is kept alongside the value, so you can check later what was actually said.
Every value keeps its receipt
The photograph, the transcript and the original reading stay attached permanently, and the exported workbook carries that audit trail with it. A number questioned months later can be traced back to the screen it was read from.
Works in a basement
Capture never waits for a signal. Photographs queue on the device and upload when you reconnect — which matters, because instrument rooms are usually the worst-connected rooms in the building.
Share a project
Add a colleague by email and the project appears in their account, with edit or view-only access. Nothing is shared until an owner adds someone explicitly.
Who is BlisxBench for?
- Labs and research groups where several people record into the same tracker
- Anyone taking readings away from a desk — gloved, at the bench, or in a room with no signal
- Work that may need defending later, where each number has to be traced back to the screen it came from
How does BlisxBench work?
- Sign in with Google or Apple, and enter your lab’s eight-digit access code once per device.
- Capture a reading by photographing the instrument screen, dictating it, or typing it.
- Confirm each value against the photograph or transcript it came from. Nothing is saved until you do.
- Share the project with colleagues by email, with edit or view-only access.
- Export an .xlsx in your tracker’s layout, with a Captures sheet recording how every number was recorded.
What the export looks like
Your own columns, in the order your tracker already uses, with standard deviations where you record them. Numbers as numbers. Missing values as blank cells — never zero. Columns to the right stay free for anything you add later.
Blank is not zero. A reading of 0.00 is a real measurement; a missing one is not. Conflating them corrupts the analysis downstream, so missing values export as empty cells and never as zeros.
What does BlisxBench not do?
If one person records a handful of readings a week and the spreadsheet is accurate, BlisxBench is solving a problem you do not have. It earns its place when several people record into the same tracker, when readings are taken away from a desk, or when a result may need defending long after the session that produced it.
- It does not connect to your instrument. It works from what the screen shows, so nothing needs installing on lab equipment.
- It does not decide what your data says. It proposes values; a person confirms every one.
- It does not guess. An unreadable field is left blank and marked, never filled in.
Common questions
Who is it for?
Any team whose readings live on an instrument screen and get copied into a spreadsheet by hand. You define the fields, so it is not tied to one kind of measurement.
Do I need an account?
A Google or Apple account to sign in, and an eight-digit access code from your lab administrator. The code identifies your lab; it is entered once per device.
Does the AI decide what gets recorded?
No. It transcribes; you confirm. Nothing reaches your records until you approve it, and the original photograph stays attached to every value.
Does it work offline?
Capture does. Photographs queue on the device and upload when you reconnect.
Is my data private?
Every project is restricted to its members, enforced on the server. No advertising, no analytics, no tracking.
Who made it?
BlisxBench is built by Blisx, an independent Singapore software studio that also builds InvenTree, a phone-first inventory app.
